It’s Quotable Wednesday today, and since it’s coming up on a year since I started blogging regularly, what better way to celebrate than to quote myself? So here is a list of the Top Ten Most Viewed posts of 2011, brought to you by Stories and Stuff.

I never realized quite how popular fanfiction actually was, till I wrote posts about it. I kept it quite a secret for a long time that I wrote fanfiction at all. This post was about how useful writing fanfiction can be for a writer.

The last 5 posts will be my fiction posts, since it makes sense to me to list them separately. The fiction and non-fiction were all mixed together in my stats lists, which again surprised me, because I thought less people would read fiction online than blog posts. Anyway:

Good, my most recent story is well up there. Introducing Polly, and how she begins to get into scrapes with princesses, enchanters, and dangerous magical creatures…

Okay, I could put one more fiction example, but I want to put two commonly searched terms in the last spot instead. One term is “abolish the monarchy.” Apparently my post on The Royal Wedding – Will We Abolish the Monarchy? hit a chord with anti-monarchists. And the other term is “Edith Tolkien.” I had no idea she was so popular.
